Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Fury Reach Terms, Avoid Purse Bid Hearing

Both WBA and WBO.

The WBA recently decided he was their mandatory too - I guess they wanted their cut of the money.

That's a good thing. Wlad gets two of his mandos out of the way in one fight

Fury needs to fight an inside fight game as Wlad is very very good at controlling range and is why he always dominates almost everyone(Except for Jennings who fought a very close fight)

Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Fury Reach Terms, Avoid Purse Bid Hearing

The upcoming World heavyweight championship between reigning king Wladimir Klitschko and unbeaten mandatory challenger Tyson Fury is officially on. The two will collide October 24 in Dusseldorf, Germany, according to spokesmen from the World Boxing Association (WBA).

The two camps avoided a purse bid literally at the last minute, as a deal was reached shortly before Monday’s hearing at World Boxing Association (WBA) headquarters in Panama.

"Teams for Wladimir Klitschko and Tyson Fury have reached an agreement before the hearing,” a WBA spokesman confirmed to BoxingScene.com. [Click Here To Read More]

We also do not have to worry about the next WBA mandatory being one of Pianeta, Chagaev and Oquendo lol. Hoepfully now it will be one of Browne or more excitingly Luis Ortiz.

And the new!!!

This is at least 2 steps up for Fury. I don't see K has aged enough. Fury is a good boxer but K will time him with big rights and it will take the sting out of Fury. I also have Fury gassing the longer the fight goes on.

[johnm is...]

Wladimir is gonna beat the hell out of Fury.

good fight, but i just think fury's defence is too leaky and big targets like pulev and wach usually get absolutely pummelled by wlad

I don't know. Compared to me he is in great shape but for a professional athlete his conditioning is horrible and I don't see him changing that now. I think he has the mindset that he is good enough the way he is - so come the weigh in day I expect to see a honed athlete and an out of shape athlete. As this is a step up for Fury I can see him gassing if the fight gets to round 7 and beyond. Fury's best chances will come early.
